QIAN9ES Ii» THE BANKRUPT LAW. —TIIO
House of Representatives yesterday passed
Mr. Mercur's bill to amend tbe bankrupt
law. This bill, it is understood, places
the appointment of registers with the
United Slales circuit courts, antl provides
that tho time for bankrupts to file their
petitions shall bo extended from one year
to two years ; that the reversals of decree,,
in bankruptcy shall be made only in the
United States courts, and also that
exemptions under State laws shall not ex
ceed $1,000, so far as the operation of the
lankrupt law is concerned. The last two
amendments are designed to meet attempts
f State courts to impede the jurisdiction
of the laws, and, in the case of exemption,
o make it uniform io operation. When
the act was first passed it provided that
Stato exemption, existing ia 1864, should
be recoguiz'jd. The object of this limita
ion was to prevent tho Southern States,
s was then feared would be the case, from
making excesiivo exemptions in the in
ereat of bankrupt landowners, &c.
Joshua Hill of Georgia, has been ad- j
mitted to a seat in the United States Sen
ate from that State. Mr. Hill was one of
he numerous claimants to the Senator
hip from Georgia, and was elected by a
)emocratic Legislature. He was born in
South Carolina, and is a lawyer by pro
ession. Ho was elected a member of the
"hirty-Qfth and Thirty-sixth Congresses
rom Georgia, aud withdrew in 1861 and
eturned to Georgia. He did not take an
ctive part in tho rebellion, and is conser- |
ative in his teidoncies. In 1886 Andrew
ohnson appointed him collector of the
fort of Savannah.

The New Spanish Kino.—The new
King of Spain goes to bed every night at
en'o'clock, like a good Christian, and rises
betimos, which astounds the Spaniards of
he court, who have been in the habit of
turning night into day. He has also
abolished the absurd etiquette of tho Span
ih court, of which so many ridiculous
stories used to be told. The King refuses
t > allow his royal fingers to be kissed, and
i ! iakes hands like any plebeian. A cor
respondent writes of him :
"Ho walks about the streets without an
escort, visits tho poor, and makes pur
chases in the shops. The King contribu
ted $5,000 for the poor of Madrid, and an
equal amount for the needy members of the
citizen militia. Having ascertained that
tha pay of the public school teachers was
neveral months in arrears, the King has
refused to draw on the treasury for his
own until the claims of the teachers are
satisfied. Ho also expressed his intention
to grant a Eenoral amnesty for political
offences, but the constitution takes this
power away from him."
This boy, for he is little else, is doing
much to disarm the hostility and pride of
the Spanish people, and, it is said, educate
them up to the republic.
The Congressional library now com

and Mr. Sands, is like the first streak o
sunshine from a sky long o'ercast by darl
aud angry clouds. Tho circumstances at
tending the trial of Mr. Chahuou, were
such as to leave no room for doubt it
tho mind of a calm and impartial observer
of events in this city, that ho was a victim
to partiean hato and pa-sion.
His trial was Bimply a persecution, and
his conviction martyrdom. When the case
comes up again, those blinding prejudices
which cioud the minds of jurors and judges
will in a great measure have passed away,
and partisan zeal and bitterness will per
haps be tempered with a little more regard
f"r justice.
The successful result of this appeal to
tho Supremo Court, cannot but be pro
ductive of the happiest influences iv hasten
ing tho great work of reconciliation which
is now progressing ao rapidly among lis.

The American Apple Trade at Liv

brought as freight into Liverpool was
comparatively small, but at present it ap
pears as though they wero to form one I
great feature in the business of the port. I
A Scotch paper mentions that one of tho
largest importers of apples at Port Huron,
Michigan, has been iv Liverpool for somo
time, and has just relumed to his home,
after having contracted for the delivery in
Liverpool of 10,000 barrels of tho best
Michigan apples. It is said he will clear
about five shillings sterling on each barrel.
Ono siugular fact in connection v.ith this I
new addition to the commerce of Liver

LOCAL NEWS,
John E. Edwards, pastor of this church, joined
in the holy bonds of matrimony, in the pres
ence of a largo and admiring host of friends
and well-wishers, Mr. William 8. S. Worden
and Miss Sarah J. McCormick, formerly o
Now York, but now of this city. The bride
wore a beautiful white silk dress, with a trat
three and a half yards long, with whito lace
over dress, set off with magnificent diamonds
a present from tho mother of Ihe groom. Th
groom was tastefully and becomingly altlrei
ia full evening dress.
There were no bridesmaids or bridesgrootns
the couple entering tho church and advancing
down the centre aisle accompanied by thei
relatives. At this juncture the organ" etrucl
up the grand old wedding march usual on such
occasions. The couple having taken their
position immediately opposite the minister, the
simple but impressive ceremony was at once
begun which united two loving hearts forever
The oflieiaticg clergyman, it was noticed, uset
the symbolic ring type of unity in all ages.—
Decidedly this was the most "distingue afl'ai
of the kind that has taken place at this church
for a long time.
There were five hundred invitations out, an(
we noticed among the many present, a nephew
of Sir Isaac Wilson, of London, the wife an(
nephew of United States Senator Shoemaker
Judje Joseph Christian of the Supreme Court
of Virginia, Dr. George W. Ross, or Rich
mond, and a host of other prominent citizens.
The bride's mother, comely and elegant look
ing, was most becomingly attired in an elegant
moire antique.
The groom was a gallant soldier in the late
war, and is a cousin of Commodore VVordeu,
of the United States navy, who commanded
tbe Monitor in that famous naval engagemen
in iiampton Hoads, with the Virgiuia nee
Mcrrimac. The biide was tbe recipient o
many most beautiful presents, Ihe value o
which amounted to at least $2,000.
Tho ceremony over the bridal party, amid
tbe congratulations of friends, left the church I
to spend Iheir honeymoon and receive their
friendii at the Grand Central Hotel in New
York, where parlors have already been en
gaged. We never saw a happier looking
couple. Hope seemed to have painted upon
the face of the bride tbe brightest flowers of
sweet anticipation, and the brow of the groom
bore the proud consciousness of a victory and a
prize • won in the wars of Cupid without a
single scar. May their pathway through life I
bespread with flowers without a thorn, and I
may they in reality prove to be
' Two souls wllh bat a w!ngl--> thought;
Two hearts that, teat as one."
Increase of Manufactures. —Oa all sides
we hear of hard times and a great scarcity of
money, which, however, does not seem to pre

GEORGE CIIAHOOI* AMD JOHNSON
.SANDS.
OPINION OP THK COURT, OP APPKAL3 ON
THE MOTION FOB NEW TRIAL..
New Trials Ordered In Both Cases,
Upon the opening of the Court of Appeals
at 11 o'clock this morning, there was a very
large number of persons in attendance, drawn
thither by the announcement in tho morning
papers of tho fact that the opinions of the
court in the cases of George Cbafaoon, Esq.,
and Johnson H. Sands, Esq., would be deliv
ered. Immediately after the reading; of the
minutes by the cloik, bis Honor, Judge Mon
cure, President of the court, proceeded to de.
liver the opinion of a majority of its members
on the firtt bill of exceptions, in tho case of
Obaboon, to the effect that the Court of Hus
tings did not err in refusing to remand tho ac
cused before a justice of the peace for a pre
liminary examination.
Judge Staples delivered a dissenting opinion,
taking the ground that tho accused was, under
the plain construction of the law, entitled to be
taken before a justice of the peace on a war
rant, there to be preliminarily examined be
fore being sent on for indictment. In this
view ot the law, Judge Staples was sustained
by Judge Christian. Judge Anderson deliver- -
SO an opinion sustaining the views taken by
Judge Moncure.
Tho court being equally divided on this
point, the action of the Hustings court in refu
sing to summon the accused before a magistrate
for a preliminary examination is sustained.
Judge Moncure then delivered the unani
mous opinion of the court on the remaining
points embraced in tho bills of exceptions, in
which the ruling of the court below was sus
tained, except in that it erred in refusing the
mulion to quash the ventre facia*. The court
suid :
"The court is further of opinion that tho
Hustings court erred in overruling the motion
of the accused to qua3h the ventre facias,
beeauso the same is not in conformity to law,
and for erors upon the face thereof."
Tbe epic-ion concludes as follows :
" Wherefore, for the error of the said Court
of Hustings in overruling tbe motion of the
accused to quash the veil ire facias as aforesaid,
it socmeth to tho court hero that the judgment
aforesaid is erroneous. Therefore, it is con
sidered that the same be reversed and annulled ;
and it is ordered that the verdint rendered by
the jury be set asiae, and that the case be re"
mandud to the said Court of Hustings, with
directions to proceed in tho manner prescribod
by law to cause another jury, duly qualified,
to come and to say whether the said George
Chahoon be guilty," &o.
In the case of"Johnson H. Hinds, all the
rulings of the court below wero sustained save
the one in relation to the centre facias. A
similar order to the above, was then entered
by the court ordering the case to tho court be
low for a rehearing,
.Tolice Court. — Tho following cases
wore disposed of by Police Justice White this
morning:
John Dabncy, of restaurant fame, was fined
$2, for making an assault on Charles Carter,
near tho Eighth street depot. Carter was
fined $1 for insulting Dabney on his own pre
mises. The dispute was about a bill, not owed
by Carter, but which Dabney thought he
ought to pay from having gotten the goods for
the other parties. The difference of opinion on
this subject cost the parlies $3.
Charles Mosley, charged with breaking into
the cellar of William Williams, and stealing
$30 worth of chickens, was dttained for a
further hearing.
Reuben West, colored, on a similar charge,
was sent on. Moseley was further htld on a
chartre of burglary.
William O. Black w.13 bound over to keep
the peace, on a charge of assaulting his wife.
The case Of Wm. Randolph and Octavia
Randolph, colored, for assaulting Belle Ellis,
was laid over until to morrow morning.
Mary E. JohnsOD, colored, charged with
finding a lot of cheap jewelry and clothing be
longing to Mary Lightfoot, when they want
lost, was sent on for trial.
La Rue's Carnival Minstrels.— Our fel-
who havo been deterred by the
stress of weather from seeing and hearing these
admirable singers, musicians and actors can
do so to-night, the weather presenting no im
pediment at this time. Their funisot a most
mirth provoking sort and their witticisms
leave no sting behind. Thoy are ginuinesons
of Momus, and no one can hear them and not
want to repeat the experiment.
Colonel Cobb will open his new hotel in
the elegant buildings at the southwest corner
of Main and Twelfth streets about the first of
March. No name has yet been selected for it.
The location is a most excellent one, and as
the buildings were erected with tho view of
converting them to the use they are now to be
put to, the establishment will be one of the
neatest and best in the city.
Dca'h at Cily Point—Vs. Edward
Comer died at his residence at City Point yes
terday afternoon, aged about 75 years. He was
a man highly esteamed for his many virtues.
He had been confined to bis bed for more than
two years with paralysis, and experienced
Juring the time much suffering.
Loose Tobacco. —Over twenty large
country covered wagons passed down Main
street yesterday evening en route to Shockoe
Warehouse, wilh loose leaf tobacco. The
sight put one in mind of" old times.
Heavy Loss. —Mr. N. Sweotman, of this
city, hiß his pockets picked of $150 while
aboard of tbe train on the Pittsburg, Cincin
nati and St. Louisrailroad going to Indianapolis
city on Thursday evening last.
Gone to Petersburg. —.lud_es Moncure,
Staples, Anderson and Christian, of tho Court
nt Appeals, went to Petersburg this evening,
to attend the funeral of a son of their associate,
Judge Joyces.
Those who cannot afford to go to Sara
toga may now find its healing waters nearer

Third streets, bas at his counter a fountain of
water from the celebrated Excelsior Spring,
which is kept constantly replenished by freuh
supplies direct t'lom Saratoga, from whence it
is brought in gas tight reservoirs lined with
pure block tin, and is forced out at his counter
precisely as it flows from tho spring. Dys
peptics will find this water precisely adapted
